"We've never recorded more songs," Dan Auerbach admitted. "It was odd for us and some of the songs are really, really good and they didn't make the record and not because they weren't good just because they didn't get quite finished in time."

Patrick Carney revealed that the recording of 'Weight Of Love' determined the structure of the album.

"We didn't have a plan, we just kind of went in and recorded stuff and came up with the record," he explained.

"It wasn't until we recorded the song 'Weight of Love' that we figured out how we wanted to start the record. Once we finished that we knew that was the beginning of the record."

The band revealed that they will be embarking on a UK tour early next year following their appearances at Glastonbury and Latitude this summer.
